Blame The Machines? tells the story of a day in the life of a young man, It starts alright but gradually things spiral out of control . as all the machines in his life seem to turn against him, until he has no choice but to react,
the question is how does he? and in the end . Do we indeed "Blame The Machines?"

Short film has no commercial value, They are normally produced for the TV companies
Re: Blame The Machines?: A Nigerian Short Film by damseremie(m): 12:54am On Feb 04, 2012
Yes, It's not for commercial purposes,
Most times they are made by people just for the love of filmmaking

Let's get this funny short back to the front page. Shebi na front page they dey call am? I like seeing the work of new filmmakers. I know it's difficult to go out and make something just for the love of it and to learn the ropes. So my dear NairaLanders also extend your love & support to Damseremie. Peace y'all.

Op your thread made frontpage after 9 month,you need to do a thanksgiving service on sunday

Since you will be charged with man slaugter I will sugest you sue the company that made the machines in return afteral their should be a warranty for the machine and if the warranty has expired you sue the machine to court



Well,the morale of the film is for us to try and exhibit self control and to be proactive at all times rather than being reactive



@OP,nice concept though
Re: Blame The Machines?: A Nigerian Short Film by semid4lyfe(m): 8:37pm On Nov 23, 2012
Overall, I liked the opening Blame The Machines graphics and the sound that accompanied it. . .very machine-like and robotic. It goes with the title of the film

The story flowed and transition between scenes was seamless. Liked the use of interval as it was used to get us into the mind of the character and move the story forward

Also, I like the fact that a behavourial pattern was set early ON for the guy with all the banging and flinging so the last violent confrontation and his shoving/pushing of Rachel wasn't out of character.

Still, some minor points that need clarification

# From his work and office, I didn't get the sense the guy could afford to live in a duplex abi no be duplex hin dey live? undecided

# As far as I know, the Blue Screen Of Death commonly pops up after installation of an incompatible software or just when one is putting on the PC and not as it happened in the film when he was working on MS Word?

# That scene where Rachael fell and hit her head on the stool get comma. She fell and her head balanced on the stool "gidigba" like sey she by herself set her head on top sleeping pillow. shocked grin Wasn't her head supposed to have hit the stool and skidded off to the ground with the stool fallen off it's legs? undecided

All in all, a decent effort.

OP, I've wasted my megabytes on a countless occasions here watching, listening or downloading some useless videos and mp3. Convince me by posting the transcript of your short film that I'm going to get the value for my time and money. So that I will get a clearer idea of what I'm about to see in the film.
I wouldn't want to watch another movie, then come back to this page to curse you thereby discourage others from watching the clip.

The thought has actually occurred to me that a large percent of our lives are governed by these machines, makes me think of if one day if all these mechanicals fail what will happened to humanity, imagine every bank was wiped to ground-zero meaning every account wiped out, no network,no tv,no light, no communication, i'm telling you, we will self-destruct.

Re: Blame The Machines?: A Nigerian Short Film by Orikinla(m): 9:15pm On Nov 23, 2012
Frankly, there is absolute nothing special about the clip and totally artless.
Making a film is an art and there is no art in your story.

ACM10:

I totally understand what you guys are saying. I personally would encourage people to strive to do better next time. @ACM10 you can add 'constructive' crticism - where do you think it failed and what can the filmmakers do different next time? I'm interested in your answer because I also make short films and do want to get better at filmmaking in general.

PS - The OP is one of the few people sharing his 'completed' work here.
